Climate change can be the average weather or a change in the distribution of weather events. From my understanding, it may be limited to a specific region or may occur all over the planet. It can be caused by recurring or cyclical climate patterns, such as El Niño.
The term, "Global Warming" is commonly used. It is qualified as an anthropogenic climate change. From my understanding, in the context of environmental policy, climate change can also mean changes in the modern climate?
Has anyone heard of the "Global Skeptics" ...under "Skeptical Science"?
Scientific skepticism is healthy. Scientists should always challenge themselves to expand their knowledge and improve their understanding. Yet this isn't what happens in global warming skepticism. Skeptics vigorously criticise any evidence that supports man-made global warming and yet eagerly, even blindly embrace any argument, op-ed piece, blog or study that refutes global warming....
Below is an example of a skeptic argument...
The Skeptic argument...
"Over the past few hundred years, there has been a steady increase in the number of sunspots, at
the time when the Earth has been getting warmer. The data suggests solar activity is influencing
the global climate causing the world to get warmer." (BBC)
What the science says...
"In recent decades while global temperature has been rising, the sun has shown a slight cooling trend. Sun and climate have been going in opposite directions during the last 35 years of global warming."
SOOOOOOOOOOOO..........let's all think about it...???????
Not only do I find it amusing...it does make sense doesn't it?
